While it has been recommended that schools and offices to remain shut until further notice, Mexico seems to be a little too relaxed despite growing concern regarding the spread of COVID-19. A video of school kids giving a coronavirus-themed dance performance at the Ocampo 2020 Carnival in Mexico, is doing the rounds on the Internet.
In the video, that has now gone viral, three kids are seen dancing and the set up is the novel pandemic COVID-19. One of the kids is dressed up as a doctor, another one as a nurse and the third kid is the virus itself. The video has received a lot of attention on Twitter and has almost 10K retweets and 30K likes.
The video shows the doctor running after the virus with large syringe in his hands while the nurse is pretending to wash her hands. However, the video does come across as a little racist, since the child dressed up as the virus is also seen donning a traditional Chinese hat.?
This has brought in a lot of mixed reactions from the people on the micro-blogging website.
While the virus did originate from China, it has now become a global issue. Racism is not the way to address this pandemic that has taken over our lives. Racism is never the way to do anything.?
